The current outbreak of war in Palestine on the 7th of October 2023, heightened concerns about mental health and well-being of individuals, particularly undergraduate students in Palestine. Such traumatic experiences and political conflict did affect the social, economic, psychological, and academic status of university students in Palestine, in particular, nursing students. However, resilience is one of the moderators which may positively decrease the severity of those negative war-related symptoms.
The study aimed to examine the moderation effect of resilience on the relationship between sociodemographic and personal characteristics and depression, anxiety, and stress among undergraduate nursing students in Palestine.
A quantitative, descriptive-correlational design utilized to investigate anxiety, depression, stress, and resilience among nursing students. A convenience sample of 325 nursing students recruited from Al-Quds University were asked to respond to a self-administered questionnaire.
A total of 325 nursing students participated in this study. The analysis showed that the majority of the participants were experiencing extremely severe anxiety levels (43.7%, n = 142), while 25.5% (n = 83) were experiencing extremely severe depression and 14.5% (n = 47) were experiencing high-stress levels compared to 60% (n = 195) of the students were at their normal resilience level. There were statistically significant differences in the resilience based on sex (t = 2.994, p = .003). Knowing that males have higher resilience mean scores (M = 3.06, SD = 0.35) than females (M = 2.93, SD = 0.41) indicates higher resilience in males than females. After performing two steps of hierarchical regression, the results revealed that resilience negatively moderated the relationship between sociodemographics and depression, and anxiety.
This study offers valuable insights into the mental health status of undergraduate nursing students in Palestine during the war. The results indicated that resilience is one of the pivotal moderators that may buffer anxiety and depression. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address the diverse mental health needs of this population, considering the complex interplay of individual, demographic, and contextual factors. Future research should continue to explore these dynamics and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions promoting mental well-being during conflict.
2023年10月7日巴勒斯坦爆发的当前战争，加剧了人们对个人心理健康和幸福的担忧，尤其是巴勒斯坦的本科生。这种创伤经历和政治冲突确实影响了巴勒斯坦大学生的社会、经济、心理和学业状况，特别是护理专业的学生。然而，心理韧性是一种调节因素，可能会积极降低那些与战争相关的负面症状的严重程度。
本研究旨在探讨心理韧性对巴勒斯坦本科护理专业学生社会人口学和个人特征与抑郁、焦虑和压力之间关系的调节作用。
采用定量、描述性相关设计来调查护理专业学生的焦虑、抑郁、压力和心理韧性。从耶路撒冷大学招募了325名护理专业学生作为便利样本，要求他们回答一份自填式问卷。
共有325名护理专业学生参与了本研究。分析表明，大多数参与者经历着极其严重的焦虑水平（43.7%，n = 142），而25.5%（n = 83）经历着极其严重的抑郁，14.5%（n = 47）经历着高压力水平，相比之下，60%（n = 195）的学生处于正常的心理韧性水平。基于性别的心理韧性存在统计学上的显著差异（t = 2.994，p = 0.003）。已知男性的心理韧性平均得分（M = 3.06，SD = 0.35）高于女性（M = 2.93，SD = 0.41），这表明男性比女性具有更高的心理韧性。在进行了两步层次回归后，结果显示心理韧性对社会人口学与抑郁和焦虑之间的关系具有负向调节作用。
本研究为战争期间巴勒斯坦本科护理专业学生的心理健康状况提供了有价值的见解。结果表明，心理韧性是可能缓冲焦虑和抑郁的关键调节因素之一。研究结果强调了需要采取有针对性的干预措施来满足这一人群多样化的心理健康需求，同时考虑到个体、人口统计学和环境因素的复杂相互作用。未来的研究应继续探索这些动态变化，并评估在冲突期间促进心理健康的干预措施的有效性。
